Abstract:
Traditional blepharoplasty has a role in improving pseudoherniation of orbital fat. However, it ignored the deep lid-cheek junction, which is a significant periorbital changes associated with aging. With the enhanced understanding of the anatomy of the lid-cheek junction, multiple techniques have developed to address how to blend the lid-cheek junction. The aim of this review is to provide current evidence on various techniques used to obtain a youthful lid-cheek junction and to show the role of blending the lid-cheek junction in modern lower blepharoplasty.
